Bane was totally badass in that movie mate.

Another quote from him when he opened up Blackgate prison;

"We take Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you... the people. Gotham is yours. None shall interfere. Do as you please. Start by storming Blackgate, and freeing the oppressed! Step forward those who would serve. For and army will be raised. The powerful will be ripped from their decadent nests, and cast out into the cold world that we know and endure. Courts will be convened. Spoils will be enjoyed. Blood will be shed. The police will survive, as they learn to serve true justice. This great city... it will endure. Gotham will survive! "

Dude!The ribs and the butt came out awesome.Some folks even liked the brisket though it was not tender or juicy enough for my expectations.Not bad for my first 'all nighter' smoking event!Will share some pics next time if I'm not too exhausted.

"Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes – men who despise you – enslave you – who regiment your lives – tell you what to do – what to think and what to feel! Who drill you – diet you – treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men – machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate – the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!" - Charlie Chaplin, 'The Great Dictator' http://www.charliechaplin.com/en/synopsis/articles/29-The-Great-Dictator-s-Speech.

Q. "One of the other big upsets this year was Lukas Rosol beating Nadal at Wimbledon. Do you think there is something in the Czech mentality that sort of makes you guys less afraid of big wins than other countries?"

TOMAS BERDYCH: "Well, I just hope you're not comparing me with Lukas Rosol. Do you? (Laughter)."

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
